How can ISO 9001 procedures be used to meet ISO 14001 requirements?
There are many elements of the ISO 9001 standard that can be merged with the ISO 14001 standard requirements. Both are management systems that define processes and establish control, need management support to sustain the system, emphasize the importance of audits as a management tool, and both start with setting broad policy commitments. The key areas where ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 correlate are: • Policy, • Document control, • Training, • Records, • Corrective and preventive action, • Audits, and • Management review. Annex B of the ISO 14001 standard presents a comprehensive crosswalk of how the ISO 14001 standard corresponds to the ISO 9001 standard.
